Hello you lovely lot! Do you have an idea for a panel, practical session, game, or something else at GI you'd like to run? Tell us all about it here: forms.gle/SMZLSVRjFhkk... Don't be shy, let us know if you have any questions!

Happy new year to all of you, our dearest friends, from Bobbie and the GI crew. We wish you all the best in the world and may 2025 be your best year ever!

All of us at Griffish Isles would like to wish you, our friends, a wonderful Christmas and New Year! If you're feeling lonely at this time of year you can join our Discord (discord.gg/5QPp4TTZYQ) and/or Telegram (t.me/+RWvTkBBal5c...) chats for a bit of company. IT CRIMMAS! MERR CRIMMAS!

What's this? An early Christmas present from your favourite griffon? It can be, and it is - here are our musicians for the Saturday live music night at Griffish Isles 2025!

One last push for vendors before applications close! Please take a sec to share this and make sure any of your vendor friends who might be interested see this! forms.gle/f1ESsTXPkKj2...

Hello, my pretty chickies, Would you like an advert in the conbook? Well you can! Fill one of these out and we'll contact you! Quarter page - £5 Half page - £10 Full page - 20 forms.gle/RnxtbyLJUEc2...

Hello again, lovely vendors! We know it's a busy month - some of you are taking part in festive craft fairs and some are figuring out what to get Uncle Cecil and his 5 chickens. Just to remind you that our vendor applications are open. Don't forget to sign up! forms.gle/f1ESsTXPkKj2...

Hello good beans, Do you know what would make the perfect Christmas present*? A ticket to Griffish Isles! It just so happens you can buy someone a ticket and send it to their email address. Ho ho ho, Bobbie *This is only the perfect present if the recipient likes ponies, fun, and socialising.

Hello Vendorfrienderinos! It's that time again, the time for you to get your vendor applications in! Click this link and get them in! If you have any questions, ask in our chats or social media channels. forms.gle/f1ESsTXPkKj2... go go go!

We hope you got through Halloween safely and without needing to call the Ghostbusters. We've got only 2 gold tickets left, so if you want the all-singing all-dancing experience* you'd better get in there quickly! *all-singing all-dancing experience contains neither singing nor dancing.

But now that poneSoph stepped down as chairpony, what is she doing now? Well, Soph is now our vendor liaison. Anything to do with vending or the vendor room should now go to her! (3/3)

Katie/enjoypizza is the genius behind the new website and ticketing system, so any tech problems are her domain. This also makes her the best person to ask about anything to do with registration. She is also our art lead! (2/3)

Hello friends! Since the committee has shuffled since the last event, we'll try to establish our roles and let you know who to go to for which queries. Librase is still the pony to go to for general queries, and also for events and scheduling queries. She is also the social media manager! (1/2)

Hoping everyone at PonyCon Holland is having a great time ! Have a stroopwafel for us ❤️

Hello again friends! We're super excited for UKPC and we hope you are too! We'll have some EXCLUSIVE Sometimes Bobbie shirts from our artist Katie available at our stall, and in our unbiased opinion we think they're the bees' knees. Ciao for now, Bobbie

Feather Friends Announcing a little something we're planning for this year! Yes, we are taking a leaf out of UKPC and FoF's books and running a cosy little corner for anyone who needs it! We're hoping to have art supplies, colouring, chill crafts, and small games.

We'd like to wish Czequestria a wonderful con weekend! Přejeme vše nejlepší

Question time once again, friends! We'd like to hear what else you get up to in Manchester during con weekend. Is there a certain shop or restaurant you can't miss? Do you pay homage to everyone's favourite beverage at Vimto Park? Do you like to do a bit of sightseeing?

open.spotify.com/playlist/2Kw... Want to get into the right vibe for Griffish Isles next year? Look no further than this deep-sea playlist featuring our favourites and a few of yours! Yes, there's Baby Shark. No, we will not be making apologies.

We'd like to wish "viel glück" to Galacon for their Viking invasion. All the best from Bobbie and the crew for what we're sure will be a successful event!

DATES! VENUE! We look forward to seeing you at the Pendulum during the 3rd and 4th of May 2025. We're also excited to show you the new ideas we've had, such as a bigger chill/hang out space. It's also a bank holiday weekend, so you won't need to rush back!

Hello again! We're getting to thinking about changing up our merch options, but we'd like to know what you want. Please help us out by filling this survey in: forms.gle/ZwGULWiTj1ZU...

Hello, my deep sea divers! What are your favourite songs about the sea? Aldersgate: Nightswimming by REM. poneSoph: Maximo Park - The Coast Is Always Changing Lib: Message In A Bottle by The Police. There's a reason for this odd question, I promise! All the best, Bobbie

Good evening, dear friends. Since the end of the last Griffish Isles, the people have been clamouring for one thing. "FISH ISLES", they demand. Look guys, we're a serious convention and we're not going to base our theme on silly memes. Lol just kidding. Welcome to Fish Isles: Beneath The Waves!

Hello friends! We've got Camp Equestria and UK Ponycon in the autumn, but what are you looking forward to over the summer? Have you got any holidays or trips out planned? We're looking forward to revealing some more details about GI 2025, maybe as early as next week?! See you soon, Bobbie
